This started as a blog about knitting, and seems to be morphing into a knitting/sewing/photography/parenting/health/gratitude/life directions blog...or rather, a blog about whatever is going through my mind.

So, hey.

Not that I'm sure if I have any readers left...it's been a crazy bunch of months. I finally went on ADHD meds, we finished Oldest Son's neuropsych and got some very good, useful (painful) information and found a great therapist to work with, and it's changed things for the better SO MUCH.

I'm sewing a dress for myself. I can already tell it's not going to fit. Grr.

I want to be knitting and crafting more, but I'm in the midst of a pretty massive transformational process...and I'm blogging it here.

I've also been doing some slightly more professional photography work this summer, exploring this for myself. I realized that my fantasy of shooting every week is not possible unless I hire a babysitter for the time I need for photo editing, which is not cost effective at what I'm currently charging. I realized a couple of things - I'm not entirely sure I want to turn my "art" (for lack of a better word, my passion) into something I do for money, on a deadline. Still pondering this. And, what I really want to do is go spend a chunk of time with people, take a gazillion photos, put a book together for them on my own timeline, and have them pay me for it. I don't love the posed photo thing. So, um, not sure if I can turn that into something but we'll see.

In the woodworking world you frequently see advice columns about "going pro." They're a bit discouraging, including the fact that doing something artistic for work really changes the experience of it. I'm still wondering what I'll "really" do when I grow up. :-)
